View answerThe Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) administers a range of grant schemes to support homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. Partial grants are available for individuals that can afford to contribute to the cost of upgrades as well as free energy efficiency retrofits for people at risk of energy poverty.

Expenditure reported for Better Energy Homes, Better Energy Warmer Homes, Deep Retrofit and Solar PV schemes refers to grant expenditure only.
In addition, projects under Community Energy Grant and Better Energy Finance schemes typically aggregate properties from across a number of counties so it is not possible to report expenditure on a county by county basis. The expenditure for these schemes is shown in the tables below.
